This is good in so many ways.

Over at the blog, CARNET DE DESSINS, Bénédicte is demonstrating what can be done with the very cool iPhone/iPod Touch app, Zen Brush. It has quite alot of features, including the ability to post your results online. Price? A mere $2.99!

If that’s too much for you, check out the Buddha Board app. That’s FREE. I have a Buddha Board. It’s a great way to relax and create. But it’s hardly portable, while the Buddha Board app is free.

It is amazing at the quality and more importantly the value of iPhone apps. It’s truly remarkable.

The blog the Burger Lab is tackling this Internet meme of the McDonald’s burgers that don’t go bad by using a much more scientific approach. As they note, they are starting with:

1. A plain McDonald’s hamburger, stored on a plate at room temperature.
2. A homemade burger of the same weight and dimensions as a McDonald’s burger (I was fine using a store-bought bun, because who bakes their own buns?)
3. A McDonald’s hamburger patty on a store-bought bun.
4. A homemade patty on a McDonald’s bun.
5. A McDonald’s hamburger stored in its original packaging.
6. A McDonald’s hamburger stored in a zipper-lock bag.
7. A plain Quarter Pounder.
8. A homemade quarter pounder.

And now they are going to test them. It should be interesting to see their results. Go to their blog to find out more.

I should add that this reminds me of the experiments that Louis Pasteur did to disprove the theory of spontaneous generation and support the theory of germs. Ok, it’s not nearly as important, but the thinking is similar.
